Our g-Grandparents, Bassett & Mary B Corbin are buried in the old part of Cedar Hedge -Union Cemetery which we were told in times past was referred to as Union Cemetery. Their grave markers are now gone although at one time they were evidently readable. They are listed in the Dorrell Cemetery records.

Inscription
Marker has deteriorated and is no longer there as of 2004. It was readable in 1972.
Gravesite Details
The markers could not be found after extensively exploring the exact spot they should have been with the Historical Society. They were recorded several years prior to our visit so assume they were destroyed for some unknown reason
